Lyrics

These Days

Yes and I've been out walking

I don't do that much talking these days

These days

These days I like to think a lot

About the things that I forgot to do

Yes and all the times that I had the chance to

Yes and I had a lover

I don't guess I'll risk another these days

These days

And if I seem to be afraid

To live the kind of life I have made in song

Well it's only 'cause I've been lonesome for so long

Yeah and I'll quit my dreaming

I don't do too much scheming these days

These days

These days I like to think about

How all these changes came about my way

And I thank God I live to write down another heartbreak

Yes and I'll quit my rambling

I don't do too much gambling these days

These days

These days I stand on cornerstones

And count the time in quarter tones till ten

Please don't confront me with my failures

I have not forgotten them
